Description of hazard
Xn Harmful
N Dangerous for the enviroment
R and S Phrases :
R-22: Harmful if swallowed

effects in the aquatic environment
S-22: Do not breathe dust
S-Phrases : Einecs Ref. Unit 250, Col. 2, Page 125
Physical/chemical hazards :
Not Flammable.
Not explosive
Environmental hazards : Copper is a necessary trace element and stimulates
plant growth and yield on copper deficient soil. Copper is an integral part of
various oxidising enzymes, and several animal diseases may occur if the diet
is deficient in copper.
Human health hazards : Cuprous oxide is classified as harmful, but is not
considered a dangerous material for working. (Ulmann Encyclopedia, Band 15,
page 560 (1978)). It may cause "metallic fever" after inhalation of dust in the
same way as other metal dusts.
Skin irritation : Non-irritant.
Eye irritation : Positive irritant.
